Preparation of the edition was begun in January 1940 and finished in October, 1942. 350 copies have been printed and the type has been distributed. Nos. 1-30 are full-bound in white morocco, and include a facsimile reproduction of the manuscript of one chapter of the text. Nos. 31-350 are bound in canvas."--Colophon.
"Lucretia Borgia, now issued for the first time, is together with Lesbia Brandon ... the most important of the large mass of Swinburne's unpublished writings ... The title Lucretia Borgia is not Swinburne's own; he called the work The chronicle of Tebaldeo Tebaldei."--Foreword.
